Redhanded

First manip of 2010. I wasn't sure whether to put it into mixed media, since there is a lot of digital painting in there... but eh. It's a manipulation.

After months of not doing manipulations, I ease myself back in with a whopping great dose of re-painting... good idea. Nice example of taking it slow. Yes, that is sarcasm.

It was originally going to be happy and nice and magicky but no. Somehow we got bloody.

The eyes were helped along by a tutorial on Elftown.com. Join it.

Only three stocks went into this image
